reopen 717544 kthxbye This isn't done, actually. After breaking several systems of my own and fellow developers turning it off in Ubuntu very briefly, I flipped it back on.
This needs some solid thought on how we can prevent users from shooting themselves in the foot, since the default mount options for /dev/pts and /dev/ptmx break running systems *and* people are used to doing things like "mount -t devpts devpts-foo chroot-foo/dev/pts", which will update the mount options for the system devpts as well. I think the sanest approach would be to hardcode the defaults into mount itself (which I plan to do when I get the round tuits), and maybe even suggest a default in the kernel as well, and then push the mount and glibc changes together, especially if we intend to backport this to stable releases. ...
